Had a wonderful last minute shoot today with David. He answered my call out earlier this week and within a few hours we had a complete shoot plan and confirmed booking!

It was seamless from start to finish and as always BOC stuff looked amazing! We got through loads of sets and outfits in our time and the shoot flew by. David also kindly dropped me back off to the station, small things like this make a huge difference in a long travel day. Would highly recommend working with David and we are already discussing a shoot in the new year!!

David booked on to my studio day at the lincoln photography studio, although this was a slightly longer booking of 5hrs the time absolutely flew by. David had already prepared some ideas of lighting set ups, backgrounds and poses.It was nice to shoot with someone who had researched what they want!

David is a really patient and kind soul, and a brilliant photographer. The back of the camera everytime i checked was just simply incredible. Most of all he is incredibly easy to chat to and get on with which created an amazing atmosphere to shoot in.

Thankyou so much David and i look forward to working with you next time :)

David is absolutely lovely to work with,he is clearly passionate about his photography and is interested and intrigued to learn more and try new lighting etc,it was really refreshing to work with someone with many different ideas and was able to show me these on print outs.David is patient and very considerate towards his models,he is very encouraging. I highly recommend working with David and look forward to out next shoot.

David was great to work with,his communications prior to the shoot were fab,he let me know which ideas he was interested in and this allowed me to plan well for the shoot.

David arrived in good time,and was really friendly! David is such a nice person to work with and the concepts he came up with during the shoot were beautiful,I adore what I saw on the back of the camera.

David overall was very respectful and approachable,I’d definitely recommend working with him and I hope to shoot with him again soon!

Its been a few years since David and i shot and it was a absolute pleasure working with him again at the weekend. We had a great catch up and got some lovely shots in between too trying out some of his concepts and lighting ideas.

David is always such a pleasure to work with, he makes any Model feel at ease and relaxed, the pefect host and trustwothy, kind and creative.

He's got a great eye for detail and always wanting to improve and push his Photography to get the best results.

A very genuine and friendly person, and i'd highly recommend him to any Model and look forward to arranging our next shoot.

Thanks so much David :)

I had the pleasure of working with David as the photography tutor on Ariel Taylors beach ballet workshop. David was a keen student, listened, took direction and instruction very well and has real passion for his photography. David demonstrated he is very serious about producing quality images and has a passion for dance. Added to that he has a great sense of humour and fun to work with.

Had a fantastic first shoot with David on my Outdoor Dance Tuition event :)

David's pre shoot communications were spot on. He knew exactly what he wanted out of the event- made my job and the tutor's job easy! It was wonderful to work with someone as genuinely interested in dance photography as David. He was incredibly focused throughout the day and was eager to learn about the dance end of things too.

I would encourage any dancer to work with David :) Or any model for that matter ;)!

David is incredibly friendly, kind-natured and very considerate. He was a pleasure to work with all day.

I really hope to work with David again soon :)!

Highly recommended

I had a lovely first shoot with David at the NLS during mine and BOus's Dance event.

Dave had some great ideas that we all developed together. The 2 hours flew by as he was very easy to work with, chatty and professional, which lead to lots of brilliant shots being captured.

I hope to work with David again, Highly Recommended!

First time I've worked with David today, at the Natural Light Spaces, it was very enjoyable.

David is such a nice person to work with, very laid-back and professional. We had a 2h shoot on a dance theme and managed to produce some lovely images. David is very open-minded and was keen to listen to suggestions. Communication was very good as well, I can only recommend him and would happily work with him again!

Thank you David, you've been great!

I had my first shoot with David over the weekend at his home studio. David was very welcoming from the start and I felt very relaxed and comfortable around him. This in in part due to his excellent pre-shoot communication. He had lots of great ideas and was really good at communicating them. I found his direction very useful with me being so new to modelling. He had had a great selection of outfits. I would love to work with David again and would highly recommend him.

Today I had a very productive portrait and fashion shoot with David. It was my first time working with him and if I'm truthful, I'm hoping its the start of future projects.

Communication was excellent from start to finish, I was made to feel very welcome. His studio was warm and comfortable and he made a lovely cup of coffee.

Photography wise, David is extremely knowledgeable, I know for sure that I learned a thing or two. I was very impressed with his lighting skills and his portraiture is just sublime!

We ran through a few different lighting setups some of which surprised me just how well they actually worked, defied logic almost.

The pics I saw back of camera were pretty amazing and I cant wait to see them properly.

David comes very highly recommended by me. Thank you!!

I had an amazing shoot with David again, weve been working together for over 5 years and each time is always such a joy working with him!

He always communicates well before the shoot, and pre plans some ideas and styles.

we experimented with some ideas he wanted to try with some different lighting set ups and using natural light too, some absolutely stunning shots!

I'm really looking forward to working with him again and highly recommend to all models to work with him.

Thanks again for an amazing shoot!

I had my first 1-2-1 shoot with David at Map studios. I have met him previously at a group shoot and already knew he was a kind and professional gent :) Nothing changed there he is a true gent!

Our shoot went well and time just flew by! It is lovely when you work with someone who brings ideas to the table and is also up for trying out new ideas.

I hope to work with him again, thank you for a lovely shoot!

Highly recommended!
